Court Slams Five years and Three months to a rape accused

The District Court of Salyan has ordered to sentence Ramesh Reule of Phalabang-4 for five years and three months after finding him guilty on raping a 70 years old elderly woman. The court has also ordered for the compensation of Rs 50,000 to the victim from the accused.

Due to the poor financial condition of an accused, the compensation will be paid by Women and Children Office according to Bishnumani Upadhyaya of District Court.

A single bench of District Court judge Madhabendra Raj Regmi had given a verdict on January 3 regarding the case. The complaint of rape was lodged at police office on July 14 last year.
